Overview: In the late 1980s, Andrew Looney was writing a sci-fi story that included an ancient Martian game called Icehouse. The game in the story became more and more detailed, and eventually Icehouse — and the little plastic pyramids to play it — became a reality. The pyramids can be used to play a long list of different games. The packaging has evolved over the years, and the latest incarnation (marketed as Looney Pyramids) is a great way to jump into the genre.

Who Will Like It? Think of Looney Pyramids like a deck of cards: it’s not so much a game as it is a game system. If you like versatility with a small set of pieces, you’ll love these. They’re also great for game designers as extra pieces for prototypes, plus they make great stacking toys … with supervision.
